($110,000/year, 3 year minimum, with an opportunity for two additional years). This award is for a Scholar’s salary & benefits only; adjustments may be allowed if the Scholar receives other funds after applying, upon Foundation approval.

• Research grants: These one-year grants are for specific research projects which are hypothesis driven and may be either laboratory or clinical research. While the averagegrant is $100,000 or less, the proposed budget must be realistic for the project.

Examples include studies related to symptom clusters, patient-reported outcomes/quality of life, health communication, health promotion, and psychosocial support across the trajectory from diagnosis to survivorship or end-of-life care. While the average grant is $50,000 or less, the proposed budget must be realistic for the project.
